Customers are saying

Customers have good things to say about the gameplay, story, hacking mechanics, and open world of Watch Dogs. Many also appreciate the game's side missions and the price point for a pre-owned copy. However, some customers find the driving mechanics and controls challenging, while others have concerns about the level of violence depicted. Overall, the positive feedback on the core gameplay elements outweighs the negative comments on specific aspects.

    I picked this game up, and started enjoying it right away. I liked the story mode right away. The open world mechanics mixed with the sandbox feel of the game made it great. I think the greatest downside of the game is the reputation system. There were too many times that I had to deal with crimes to raise my reputation because I had killed or hurt too many citizens; usually through bad driving. The driving mechanic in the game is pretty bad, and too many cars are hard to control, and when you are being chased by bad guys, or the cops who just shoot at you first, citizens tend to get run over too easily, and that damages your reputation too easily. If the reputation system didn't exist, I would have given the game 5 starts.

    Watch Dogs is a good game, but not a great one. But don't let that hold you back, it's definitely worth the time to play. Just don't go in expecting it to be the savior of the "Next Gen". It's just a GTA style game with slightly improved graphics (in some areas, in others GTAV is still king) and some fun 'hacking" hooks.

    Don't get me wrong, the game isn't bad. However, I feel that the hype right up to the release is what killed it for me. The game has an amazing map (pretty huge/endless gameplay), great storyline, and graphics. One thing I realized right off the bat was how horrible driving cars are in this game. Turning is really difficult and it seems almost impossible to avoid crashing into cars during a chase. I don't know if it's because I'm used to GTA, or if driving on this game really sucks. But it definitely does not make this enjoyable. I pre-ordered this game to get the free extra rewards points and that's about the only positive (along with some previously mentioned features) I could really mention about this game.

    I picked the game up the day after launch. So far the game has been pretty cool. Hacking the people of the town gets pretty repetitive as well as the crimes in progress and police chases. It's got potential! I'm still getting started good on the single player story mode. I like it and will continue to play for sure.

    Watch Dogs is pretty and offers a lot of activities for you to do. I am halfway through the campaign and have seen close to 100 side missions or mini-games so far. The character you play though is pretty amoral and the game makes it extremely easy to cause havoc just because you can. If you are looking to be a hero then play Shadow of Mordor. If you want an open modern world with guns, cars, and all of the hacking you want though, Watch Dogs is for you.

    Decent, but not what was advertised

    After starting the game, my initial reaction was that of regret. It was not the stealth based game that was touted by UbiSoft, it was another open world sandbox game. After the shock of it not being what was expected wore off, the game got a little better. It is basically a GTA clone with the gimmick of being able to hack things. Missions are like those found in the Far Crys, Assassin's Creeds, or GTAs where you can run in guns blazing or try a more stealthy approach. Nothing really new is brought to the table, but if you go into knowing that, it can still be enjoyable

    This is one of the first next gen console games to get it right! In my opinion this game takes the AC franchise and flips it upside down inside out. Playability 10! Well thought out plots and mini-games 10! Graphics and rendering 10! The absolute single must buy reason for this game.... you can still be 100% engaged from your smart phone or tablet... YES engage with console players in real time.... via FREE APP! "What? Oh he ran out to buy the game? What took him so long??" Enjoy!

    The hacking "ability" is a fun addition to the standard open world shooter, but very unrealistic. Adds a level of fun to car chases especially. Overall a fun game but not a completely ground breaking game. The story line seems pretty thin, but the action makes up for it as you go around Chicago wreaking havoc.

    Game is fun with a neat concept of being able to hack into everything. Kind of a mix between GTA and Assassin's Creed. Only complaint I have is the hacking gets repetitive after a while, so it's tough to play for a longer sitting. Overall, it is a nice change of pace and great graphics for a next Gen game.

    If you enjoy Assassin's Creed and GTA, then you will likely enjoy Watch Dogs. It features hybrid gameplay encompassing the characteristics of both game styles. There's lots to do in Watch Dogs and the city is quite immersive, so you should enjoy an above average amount of playing time with this title.

    Watch Dogs is an exciting open-world, sandbox game; however, I found that towards the end of the campaign, it was difficult to stay engaged with the game. The story was deep and interesting, but it is definitely one of those games where you'll play through it & it will sit there after awhile.

    I was scared when I first bought that game that I was getting a GTA clone. Although this game is similar to GTA in tons of ways it still has its own feel to it. Tons of side missions and the main story line is fun. Only down side is I feel that for a next gen game I was hoping for better graphics.

    My son has been waiting for this game to come out for months. He read about it when purchasing his new XBOX ONE at Best Buy on its release date in November 2013. All takes place in city of Chicago with familiar streets and landmarks. You are a vigilanty who has to get to crime scenes before police, conduct your own search for the criminals using everything available. All while avoiding capture by police. Great adventure game. It exceeded his expectations.

    This game is good but its not truly as innovative as we all hoped. It is also hampered by some frame rate issues along with just not being as beautiful as we all were initially promised. I still like this game and since theres not much out right now for XBOX One I do recommend it.
